  1. The animals my father usually keeps at home are cows, calves, & horses. The people have specil names on them. At present we have three cows. We call our black-cow Shnughburough because when she was a small calf we baught her from a man in that place. We call the other cow white-legs because she has four White-legs. & the small cow Sandy because we baught her from a man in Sandyhill. We put straw under the cows for bedding at night
